Will IAC Buy SparkNetworks? My bet: NO

Recently, I read the article published by Bloomberg "As Tinder Flirts With Ads, Is It Worth Millions—or Billions?"
The
journalist who had written the article says: "Last August I asked Match
CEO Sam Yagan how much IAC would have had to pay for Tinder if it were
acquiring the company as an independent startup, instead of having grown
it in-house. Having sold his own dating business to IAC’s Match unit
for USD50 million, he knew well the history of such sales. “I can’t
think of a single acquisition of a dating site for more than USD10
million by someone other than Match,” Yagan said. “We are the global
buyer.”"
